WW> Well, it's like this...
WW> I wanted to add the 40 meg hard disk that housed the file areas of
WW> BlinkLink on the XT right over to the 386SX, and was assured by the
WW> person from whom I bought the new system that this was possible without
WW> loss of data. Well, I backed up what I could, but ran out of loppies,
WW> and unlike Tandy who is thinking about buying the New York Yankees from
WW> Steinbrinner, didn't have the money to buy any more, so decided to just
WW> cross my fingers that nothing would go wrong.
Now, Willie, anyone who can afford to buy a new computer like you did, would have enough left to buy some genaric disks at twenty-nine cents a piece. You don't need tandy's money, and besides he don't have it any more. He left it all at the convention.
WW> Well, something went wrong, as the new controller wouldn't read
WW> the
WW> old disk!
WW> Well, we just put the 40 back in the XT, and after a lot of
WW> fiddling, we got it to recognize the 40 again! I began coppying the
WW> files to floppy so I would have a current backup and could also move
WW> them to the new computer, but now the floppies arn't being recognized
Oh, so you did go and buy some more floppies. Too late!!!
WW> in
WW> the new machine! It sure looks like just a cable got removed the last
WW> time we had the cover off though, so with a little luck I should have
WW> this fixed before you read this.
WW> Wish me luck, and have no fears about Vocal-Eyes!
Ok, good luck. As some one else said, put a list of the files you lost on here, and maybe some of us can come to your rescue.
